==German==

===Etymology===
Probably a dialectal variant of {{der|de|gml|ēkel||disgusting}}, from which {{cog|de|Ekel||loathing, disgust, fastidiousness}}. A connection to {{inh|de|gem-pro|*aikulaz||fearful}} has been suggested for both words; compare {{cog|ang|acol||burdensome, troublesome}}, {{cog|en|ache}}, {{cog|gl|extern||to vex}}, {{cog|nl|akelig||terrible}}.

''Heikel'' seems to have arisen out of 16th century Upper German dialects with a first meaning “easily disgusted, choosy”. Dialectal variants include {{cog|bar|haglich}} and {{m|bar|hoaglich}} (both akin to regional {{m+|de|heikelig}} or {{m|de|heiklig}}), {{cog|swg|haikel}}, {{cog|gsw|heikχel}}, {{cog|stq|hekel||fastidious with regard to food}}.<ref>{{R:Kluge 1891|heikel}}</ref>

Others have suggested a derivation from {{der|de|gmh|heien}}, {{m|gmh|heigen||to cherish, harbour}} (compare {{cog|bar|haigeln}}).<ref>Weitzenböck, in: ''Zeitschrift für Mundartforschung'' 12 (1936), 229 f.</ref> The connection with the root of {{cog|en|irk||to irritate, annoy, bother}}, advanced by the Grimms, seems to be out of question today, even given the Upper German verb {{m|de|erkeln||to loathe}}.
